Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Teaching with Favorite Leo Lionni Books
Kathleen M. Hollenbeck · 2000
66/100
👎 Skip It
A genuinely useful classroom companion for any K–2 teacher already working with Leo Lionni, with cross-curricular activities that save real prep time. But it's narrowly scoped, hard to find new, and showing its age — modern educators have access to richer digital resources for the same titles. Worth hunting down if you already love Lionni; otherwise skip.
